Overview

Mission

Organizing Communities to End Fossil Fuels

What it reported doing in 2024

Created and facilitated a multi-organizational coalition to mobilize regular people against financial institutions who continue to financially support projects that harm the climate and sustainability initiatives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
